Believe You Me

I began packing my luggage, having my flight leave in a few hours. I sighed heavily, leaving my bag on the floor with my clothes and my book bag. I took out a pair of jeans, a random shirt and was about to open the door to my bathroom when my bedroom door opened and Julie stepped in, a bag hanging off her shoulder and she smiled at me.

“Are you going to shower?” She asked.

“Yeah, if you wanted to go out, we can after my shower.” I told her turning fully to her. Julie blushed, looking down and she cleared her throat.

“I was actually wondering if I can join you.” I felt a smile creep on my face, having her step in the bathroom first, followed by me. We spent almost two hours in the shower, causing me to feel bad on the amount of water that was wasted.

“I’m going to miss you.” She spoke, sitting next to me on the couch. We were watching The Nightmare Before Christmas since it was my favorite movie.

“I am too, baby.” I spoke, kissing her head and holding her close. “Why can’t you go with us?” I said after a few seconds.

“Because you guys are already sharing a bus with four other guys and it’ll be too crowded. I need to stay here to finish the wedding things anyway.” I sighed, hugging her tightly before I heard a honk and I knew Tony was here.

We got up, walking out and saying our goodbyes. I kissed her one last time, just like the kiss we shared at the airport when she was leaving our tour early: full of passion, love, and happiness. I took one look at her brown eyes, smiling at her and she said something that I knew I could believe.

“I’ll be here waiting for you.”

September 2

I was sitting in the lounge with Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat. They were talking to me about previous tours they had and how wild the fans got. I couldn’t believe them at first until I witnessed a few people in the audience taking their shirts off and showing the band everything. At one point, we all had to wait for an hour since Jack was with some fan inside the bus.

“This tour is great so far! You guys are going to go far, I can tell!” Alex smiled at me.

“That’s what we’re aiming for.” I grinned. My phone vibrated in my hand and I answered.

“Hey baby!” I spoke excitedly.

‘Hi Mike, how’s the tour?’ Julie spoke on the other line.

“Pretty good, we’re about to perform with the guys in a bit so how about I talk to you after?”

‘You’ll fall asleep, just call me tomorrow. I love you.’ I smiled, loving the way she said those words.

“I love you too, bye.” I hung up, seeing Alex and Jack grinning.

“I didn’t know you were dating someone!” Jack spoke.

“I’m actually engaged to her. Her name is Julie, she’s Casey’s younger sister.” I told the guys the story about her and the smiles left their faces.

“I’m sorry, bro.” Alex said.

“It’s cool. I know she’ll be waiting for me.” I smiled. We left the bus, going to the venue and I got ready with the rest to go on first. I smiled, seeing the group of people cheering for us. I knew we would gain a bigger fan base like this, which is why we were spending the next year touring with other bands. One band, Bring Me The Horizon, volunteered to take us to the UK to tour with them in their home land, which we happily accepted. By then, we would have our own tour bus, and Julie could even come along.

I began playing my set, pounding on it and just getting lost in the music. Vic spoke into the microphone, asking everyone to sing along to the next song, Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides. I grinned at the voices that rang through the place, all of them singing and I could see Tony and Jaime grinning as well. We ended with Drella and we left the stage, having the crew set up for All Time Low. We went up to the dressing rooms, taking showers in the different rooms and putting on fresh clothes. I walked out of the venue, leaning my back on the brick wall and taking out a cigarette. I lit it, smoking it and instantly relaxing. I thought about being back home with Julie and I closed my eyes.

Next month, she would be my wife. Mrs. Julie Fuentes. I smiled, loving the sound of it.
